One of the original,
originators of the show, Joe Buffalo Nickels is a clock maker who
works with the motto: "If I can get a hole in it, it
can tell you the time." |
The Recycled Art Market was the core idea
for this whole festival. Conceived at a local craft show on a lazy
Sunday afternoon in 1999 by Mark Dabelstein and Joe Buffalo Nickels, they both
wanted a specialized market to showcase recycled art. A
serendipitous connection with Nancy Judd at Santa Fe Beautiful propelled
the idea to our first efforts that November.
Eight years and several larger venues later, the
Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival is, according to the
Santa Fe Reporter,
"... a shockingly good time... the weekends biggest can't miss event... a
highlight of the fall season."

least 75% recycled/reused materials. Collages, picture frames, clocks,
furniture, rugs and jewelry are just some of
the items that are available.

We have
more than 40 of the finest artists and crafters selling recycled goods.
Competition to be included is tough and only the finest and most creative
get in. Last year over 2500 people came through the doors to buy their
holiday gifts.
